*** Usage ***

Use the buttons added to your controls to navigate through your video.

*** Known Issues ***

- Frame by Frame for YouTube™ previously included keyboard controlled features like adjusting playback speed, frame rate and frame skip. We recently removed these features to avoid issues we had seen with interference when searching and commenting. Please let us know if you miss these features and we will work out a better implementation! To use those features and more right now, check out http://www.watchframebyframe.com/.

- Sometimes the buttons will not load straight away. Reload your page and they will appear.

- Sometimes YouTube makes a change that stops this extension working. Let us know by raising an issue at https://github.com/CalumJEadie/frame-by-frame or even better, if you can, submit a pull request bringing it up to date.

doesn't work

Improved Tube 2020-08-29

(sweet one. not working anymore :/ ) EDIT: we were missing this, so my friend went straight ahead and made such working on every site ♥ ### https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/frame-by-frame/cclnaabdfgnehogonpeddbgejclcjneh ### We can still add all the controls and visuals that make sense! ( Please ask) (mark this review 'helpful:yes' if you want it to stay first)

It works really great, as well as the shortcut keys. (<, > keys without pressing Shift)

Hadi Jam 2019-09-22

love it! would you please make it work with 60fps videos?

Joshua Klinkenberger 2019-08-22

Used to love this, but perhaps a bit outdated now. Doesn't seem to work and hasn't been updated in about a year.

Jonathan Finnecy 2019-04-23

Bring back the keyboard commands!!!

amei!

Simon Cheng 2018-11-02

Works, but for some reason it prevents the comments, user avatars, and recommended video thumbnails from loading.

Freddy Díaz 2018-10-22

Loved it, until hotkeys got removed. There should be a toggle button and that would a fix for the comment issues for users like me who would be fine with it.

Federico Germán Moral Iadarola 2018-09-22

Not working

Matthew Rosenbaum 2018-09-22

Still a great app! But I'm really missing the keyboard shortcuts. I'm an animator and being able to flip through referance videos w/ more control was invaluable! Thanks :D

Patrick 2018-09-16

Everything quit working. I'm so sad.

Tekashi Bobo 2018-09-11

Please restore the hotkeys... They were so convenient... Whoever didn't think so didn't need this app! This app did what it did perfectly...

Diivia Nomenescio 2018-09-10

I love this app! I mean, love! Or, I mean loved. I'll give money! It worked for ages until it stopped working. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, did that a couple times, read reviews, looked at support page but no joy. :( Maybe it's some weird setting on Windows 10 or something I'm not aware of? Thanks, though. :D

Maxime Péloquin 2018-08-31

Good extension, but like others have said the hotkeys need to have an option to disable them. Took me so long to figure out why videos were sometimes playing at 0.25 speed, but it was because I typed "p" in the comment or search box and this extension makes the video play slowly when you type "p". Beside that, I love it, but I have to uninstall for now.

Three sentences, Cannot change the keys. Cannot edit how much it goes by. And last, It disappears sometimes.

Fabio Ming Hallais 2018-07-27

easy to use

The P Hotkey can get very Irritating

Jeremy Eden 2018-05-25

CHANGE THE P HOTKEY SO THE VIDEOS I SEARCH FOR AREN'T SLOWED DOWN

Biotechknowledgey 2018-04-06

This app has great potential, but there is one massive oversight. I can't change the hotkeys that come with it. Some genius decided that it was a good idea to program playback speed changes to alphabet keys so when you type in the comment section it interferes with the playback of the video and it may take a long time to understand what happened and how to fix it at first. So, for usability and adaptability this app really sucks. It has great potential though! I'm most likely to disable it and just enable it when I need to use it since it screws up my viewing of videos more than it actually is needed.

I can't get the hotkeys to work reliably

Roxanne McCloud 2017-12-02

Does what it says on the tin: Fatal error for me though, It has a bad habit of starting all videos paused.

Sincero Jones 2017-11-08

Really good! Thanks!

jim 2017-10-28

great except that hotkeys get sticky. videos keep reloading at .25 speed on their own. now broken entirely because of antivirus. removed and re-installed but all i get is a grey icon and it will not open options menu.

tin pin 2017-10-09

Cool and useful extension with a few inexcusable oversights and fatal flaws. 1) Hotkeys from hell The hotkeys are obnoxious and can't be disabled, changed, or only active when _not_ typing a comment! While typing a comment, the extension thinks you want to control it and makes the video act bizarrely when it's non-modifiable and idiotic single key/single letter hotkeys are pressed. 2) FFS the 25/30 fps switch does NOT hold it's setting. If you watch 25 FPS video all the time (like PAL content) you're fine, but if you DON'T (Like if you don't live in Europe. A crazy idea, I know!) the frame time jump is incorrect and has to be set every single time you change videos. 3) God knows why it doesn't always load its icons that allow you to actually interact with the extension. If you've found something you want to frame-by-frame and the buttons aren't there you have to 'refresh' the page *and reset your video progress!* On most videos this isn't a big deal, but if the video you're watching is really long (as in _hours_) this is a really obnoxious oversight. 4) Last but *CERTAINLY* not least, this extension IS NOT BEING UPDATED ANYMORE! So none of these agonizing problems will ever be fixed. This is definitely an extension I will keep disabled unless I specifically have a need for it. I will turn it on manually when I want it because it's seriously annoying to leave enabled.

Tennessee Uthe 2017-10-05

Its annoying when I press P when typing a comment. Other than that it's very helpful, and is a good working extension.

sealed interface 2017-10-04

Excellent extension; I have found myself using this many times. (Now works again.) One major problem is the hotkeys, which for some reason cannot be configured or disabled. Most notably is P, which gets triggered even when typing in a comment text box. Multiple times I've hit P and not realized why the track suddenly went silent - only to check and see it's also on .25x speed so I have to hit P again randomly. Simple, obvious solution: make keyboard shortcuts configurable or toggleable.
